Subject: [kw-pm] BBQ Social This Thursday!
Message-ID: <4C6B2CAF.4030509@alleged.net>
Hello everyone,
As you may know, this Thursday is the KW-PM n-th annual barbecue.
Spouses and children are welcome, as well as any geeky appliances. A
barbecue and a pool will be available, so bring grillable food and/or
swim suits as appropriate. I'll also have a selection of burgers and
soda on hand. I expect more people will come then I have outdoor
furniture, so bring lawn chairs if possible!
The event will be occurring at:
519 Edenbrook Pl., Waterloo, ON
Carpooling should be available: ask on the list or IRC. I'm less then
a 10 minute drive from UW, close to the Northfield expressway exit, and
close to a route 9 bus stop.
*** RSVPs would be appreciated, so I can plan on how much supplies to
prepare. Please also let me know if you have dietary restrictions
you'd like me to accommodate. ***
Cheers,
Max

Hey all,
Wondering what people most commonly use to open, lock, read, update, and write back to a file. I've been looking at using the open function along with +> but cannot seem to read from the filehandle using the following piece of code (just simple test code) :
open(FH, "+>somepath");
my @ca = ;
print join("", @ca); // prints nothing to the screen
I was wondering what alternatives peopel would give to the above code but also an explanation to why the above code doesn't result in the printing of the contents of the file (to the screen)? Thanks in advance for any insight given.
Rob

thus '+' mode would clobber the file first.

Read perlopentut. It has a section on "hit counters" which is probably
what you want.

Subject: [kw-pm] jQuery / Perl question
Message-ID: <238876.43751.qm@web120502.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>
Hi all,
I'm attempting to make an Ajax call to a perl application residing on my computer.
One of the fields I'm adding onto the URL to send may have an ampersand in it. I want to encode any special characters to put onto the URL and then have those values be accessible within the perl application on the server. I'm using jQuery's serialize method to do the conversion and the value passed in (i.e. something&something) is being converted "properly" (i.e. something%26something).
On the server, however, the value accepted looks like somethingsomething (disregarding the encoded & being passed). I'm creating a CGI object within the Perl script to handle the form data coming in.
Can explain to me what needs to be done (using this technique) to accomplish the task of converting special characters at the client end to then pass successfully to the server? Or is there better way of accompishing the same task that you can suggest?
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice / suggestions.
Rob

CGI.pm (or Apache request object if under mod_perl) query and form
handling functions automatically handle all of that.
